How about someone writing a short summary, for the thread's frontpage? The first 60 pages are obsolete anyway for most readers, as the EZ is out now... 
I don't know if this monst....uh...giant-thread can be splitted or something...it still IS about the upcomming Astak-readers....among others....  |
Dear EMU:
To try to condense everything, Astak announced 7 months or so ago that we were going to sell two lines of eBook Readers: EZ Reader and Mentor. The two lines are built by two different factories. They will be in 5 inch, 6 inch, and 9.7 inch. The first release was the rock-solid EZ Reader Basic in 6 inch. While greatly received at MobileRead Forum on the whole, Astak is not a Sony or a Kindle. People on the forum seem to have really liked the first model and new models in both lines (maybe 5-7) will be coming out in the next 8 months. Think of Astak as David and a certain other eBook Reader manufacturer as Goliath. We are small... but we try to be honest and open... and we think we hold no second-fiddle to anybody as far as having a great eBook Reader. We have always asked the readres of MobileRead to make suggestions and comments and recommendations and they have been many. Some have been adopted and one reader named our new EZ Reader 9.7 inch the "EZ Reader TRUE". We have discussed Touchscreen, resolution, note-taking, 3G versus Wi-Fi and more openly. Now we have a new website being born in two weeks (
www.goEZebook.com) and are just showing samples of new custom cases and lighting for the screens. WHEH!!!
That pretty well brings you up to date!
WECOME to the thread, my friend!
